Since there was the Hologram Tupac at this year's Coachella, I thought I'd post about HATSUNE MIKU , the world's first Hologram Popstar. Crazy. I hope my great-great grandchildren will be attending Hologram Iron Maiden concerts.... that, or Ronnie James Dio returns as prophesied, bringing with him long-departed Metal Gods, and my descendants can just watch them live on Mars.

Check out these He-Man designs WILLIAM STOUT did back in 1985! I dig em... they have a nice "Moebius feel"... maybe some Art Adams & George Perez... and you can see similar stylings in later works by Brom & Frank Quitely, I think.

* I'm not saying one influenced another, merely that they have tethered visual elements.

Thank you RENATO GUEDES, guest artist on 'Secret Avengers'#26, for drawing BEAST as he used to look - howhe should be - before Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely turned him into The Cowardly Lion from 'Wizard of Oz'. While I believe this is merely a case of "artist's perogative", and Cat-Beast will probably return in #27, I will take what I can get!
